The unidentified 25-year-old woman, who was taken to the hospital to be treated for self-inflicted cuts not related to the alleged choking incident, told police that Spitzer and she were romantically involved and that they had had a spat that turned physical, according to a report by CNN.
CNN reported that its sources told them that Spitzer, who is also New York’s former attorney general, has denied the assault allegations.
Other media reports said the woman has declined to press charges and has left the United States for Russia.
Spitzer had previously patronized a high-priced prostitution service called Emperors Club VIP, leading to his resignation as New York governor in 2008.
Spitzer's lieutenant governor, David Paterson, succeeded him as governor.
